Summer haiku

dancing clouds
in the garden --
butterflies

autumn wind
blows black crows
and yellow leaves

looking in the mirror
I see
my mother's eyes

trees marching
up the hillside --
in perfect formation

indoors writing haiku
outdoors beckoning
the birds singing

fog devours the town
spitting out pieces
here and there

through the blinds
sunshine spreading --
shadows on the wall

circle of pines
hides sparrows nests
cat on the prowl

spring morning
sun highlights
the spiders web
